Two other men, both of them criminals, were also led out to be out to death with Jesus. When they came to the place called ‘The Skull’ they crucified Jesus there, and the two criminals, one on his right and the other on his left.
Jesus said:
‘Forgive them Father! They do not know what they are doing.’
Luke 23: 32-34a Good News Translation
Reflection: Jesus is nailed to the Cross
Dear Lord, the horror of your agony is unimaginable.
You taught love yet you experienced such hate.
Even as you felt the nail s driven into your tired flesh
you still spoke words of forgiveness.
Lord, we may not know, we cannot tell, what pains you
had to bear, but we believe it was for us
you hung and suffered there.
Help us to understand the immensity of your gift to us,
We pray:
In your mercy, forgive us our sins.
We adore you O Christ and we bless you
Because by your holy Cross you have redeemed the world
